    The save system could have been setup better but other then that; the game play is immensely enjoyable.

    I'm addicted to the gameplay.

    The graphics are worlds apart from "Everquest Online Frontiers" and the gameplay is just off the chart as well.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 86 Critic Score
    Extremely fun to play and highly addictive! And there are so many options that will keep you running back to your videogame system time and time again.

    The presentation is just outstanding. It's just a shame that the gameplay was a little off, and that you couldn't skip the movie cutscenes.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 94 Critic Score
    The gameplay is fun and innovative, the graphics are simply breathtaking, the cut scenes look simply amazing. Textures are done with detail and look sweet.

    The total control punching system needs some work and some smoothing out, but it's still got some playability and fun.

    It is as good as the previous game, and then some with the enhancements that were made. Most notably, in the computer AI that puts up so much more of a fight than even the best FPS games.

    • 90 Critic Score
    Not only does it have 20 of the hottest cars in the world, but customizing them is half the fun. And you can play this game online, which is a big must for the PS2 right now.

    The controls and the gameplay just aren't what they used to be, and this has allowed "NBA Live" to catch up this year.

    A test of your strategic skills. From the tactics-based fighting, to the persuasion of the Dark Assembly, to the creation of characters, every aspect requires you to consider how your decision will affect you down the road.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 92 Critic Score
    Great controls, fun storyline, an addictive game that you just can’t stop playing and top it all with fantastic movie creation and viewing and you have one top notch game that is hard to pass up.

    With the addition of PS2 online play and another tightening of the gameplay across the board, who's going to really be a challenge this year?
    • 84 Metascore
    • 91 Critic Score
    A brand new story that will keep you totally engrossed. Updated graphics and the same great gameplay with brand new Bullet Time effects.

    This game is well worth the 90 score I have given it. If you want to get the hell scared out of you, check out Fatal Frame II Crimson Butterfly Director's Cut for the Xbox system. And stay scared!

    I’m not going to sit here and tell you that Future Perfect is the best FPS ever. But I will tell you that if you give me a choice between this game and any other FPS (including either "Halo" game), I’ll choose to play Time Splitters.

    Has everything that an import tuner nut could ever want. Heck, this game has everything a racing fan could ever want.

    • 83 Critic Score
    Graphics are not what make this game. But when you add on the addictive gameplay, easy controls, great storyline and replay value, you have one solid game.

    There is so little that is linear in the game, I have dubbed it "the action version of Knights of The Old Republic". Now before the KOTOR fans grab their pitchforks, I am talking about how you can completely control your own destiny in the game.

    NBA 2K6 is absolutely better than last year. But it's not the powerhouse it once was. I still love the game, but they need to fix some things before it really hits the Xbox 360.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 87 Critic Score
    The gameplay is improved a good deal from last year, giving you more of a realistic feel while maintaining a fast-paced arcadey kind of feel. The fight has been taken right to the competition, and EA might just be catching up in the Basketball department.

    And think about this, it's $20; a tank of gas, the price of a DVD. You don't get a game of this quality for $20 unless it's been out for a year. It's got awesome graphics, and it's still that Colin McRae super gameplay.

    Take the great graphics and mix it up with the innovative HUD-less fighting system and solid boxing engine and the result is an excellent boxing game that is at the top of its class.

    The two new multiplayer games alone are worth trading in the first Rainbow Six 3.

    Isomotion either really needs an overhaul, or it needs to be scrapped. And PLEASE do something about about the computer AI. But on the flip side, I love the new shot stick, and the strip and rip controls.

    • 94 Critic Score
    A beautiful compliment to the AOM saga, and this is a title that I will definitely slow down to play.

    The controls in NBA Live 2004 are tight and very responsive. The freestyle controls have been toned down from last year. This year, the freestyle controls are more suited for the skill players who handle the ball regularly.

    The presentation is just outstanding. It's just a shame that the gameplay was a little off, and that you couldn't skip the movie cutscenes.
